What I (Wish I) Ate This Week

I have good news and bad news. The good news is: next week is my last week of recipe development for my cookbook! Exclamation point! The bad news is: I didn’t have time to do a What I Ate This Week post for today. So instead, I’m going to show you what I wish I ate this week. It’s something different and exciting, yes?

1. Eggplant Pomodoro with Angel Hair Pasta [New South Food Company] // How beautiful is this pasta dish? Between the eggplant, tomatoes, and fresh basil, this is the perfect end-of-summer recipe.

2. Coconut Chia Seed Pudding [The Roasted Root] // I would totally eat this for breakfast. I make a lot of chocolate chia pudding and I’ve been meaning to try something different.

9. Grain-Free Chocolate Banana Pancakes [A Girl Worth Saving] // I decided to try an anti-inflammatory diet to see if it helps with my eczema, which means cutting out white flour. Although my friend Kelly’s blog is paleo, which is kind of the opposite of vegetarian, there’s a surprising amount of overlap between the way we eat. These pancakes are completely grain-free; I think I might make a batch or two and freeze them!

10. Sesame Curry Kale Chips [The Clean Dish] // I always want to buy kale chips at the store because they come in so many crazy flavors. But they’re like $7 for a wee bitty bag. $7! Unfortunately, I am not Lisa Vanderpump rich, so I have to make my own kale chips. I love that these are curry flavored!

11. Cheezy Polenta Jalapeño Poppers with Mango Salsa [Nutrition Stripped] // I like the idea of jalapeño poppers, but they’re a little too much for me with all that cheese in the middle. It’s the kind of food you look forward to, but then after you finish eating, you feel like blergh. Solution? Fill the peppers with polenta instead. You get that same creaminess, minus the heavy cheese.

12. Zucchini Pesto [Running to the Kitchen] // I don’t have the excess zucchini problem everyone else seems to have at this time of year, but I can pretend, right? I’ve never thought to use zucchini in a pesto, but this looks delicious!

I seriously don’t. I never thought I’d be sick of eating, but I really am. Food doesn’t appeal to me lately. I’m used to eating a light breakfast & lunch, then a bigger dinner, but with the book, I’m eating big breakfast, big lunch, big dinner. I guess at least I’m not snacking because of the Invisalign, but still, I feel so full all the time!

There are some great picks here. Love the look of the eggplant pasta and the roasted cauli, brocc, chickpea bowl especially. Hurrah for almost being finished with your recipe development! Hope this final week goes well.

Congrats on being in your last week of cookbook recipe prep!! I wish I were there, but I’m more like 2 months out Thanks so much for wishing to eat my chia pudding!! It was my first chia experience and I know there will be many more. I’ll have to peruse your site for chia recipes and go to town! Have a great weekend and congrats again!

Well, I’ll still have some revisions to do after my testers finish testing everything, but I’ll be thrilled to be finished with the cooking 2-3 times a day schedule I’ve been on. THRILLED! You will get there soon–2 months will fly by!

Whoa what a round up!!! I wish I had eaten all of those dishes right along with you. I am super stoked for you o finish up your cookbook, I can only imagine how freeing it will be for you to be done with it. Thanks for including my BBQ sandwich:)

I am so happy that you’re almost done with your book! Just take a tiny break before you jump into your next adventure It is crazy how the paleo diet can mesh so well with both a vegetarian and even vegan diet. I hope removing white flour helps clear up your eczema.

I love how you always pick such colorful, brightly flavored foods in these features, K! Thank you so much for featuring my soy noodles! Congrats on coming into the home stretch for your cookbook – so exciting!

Every single thing on here looks amazing! The choc panakes and #9 and what you said about paleo and veg actually have lots of overlap, they do! I agree! And wheat/gluten, yes, for eczema and psoriasis, it’s worth a try to eliminate it. The less gluten I eat, the better I do!

Yeah, Kelly posts a lot of recipes that are vegan, which surprised me! I have seriously tried everything for my eczema and now it’s starting to spread from my hands to my arms, so I am desperate. I’m hoping this anti-inflammatory diet will help…
